Christmas comes a little late for me, but I took my horde of Best Buy giftcards and bought myself a new lens for "The Camera That I Can't Afford". I've been doing a lot of research and there's a great deal for an awesome lens that pretty much every D50 owner that has it raves about. It's the 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor lens, and for a while that meant nothing to me but I now know that it's a pretty fast lens that can take good pictures, even when the lighting isn't that great - which is the problen I have when taking pics in my house, since I have to rely on our indoor lighting which isn't that great.

So I played around with it and it's AWESOME! My only complaint is that sometimes it's slow to autofocus and that when it does the autofocus it's a little loud, but other than that, I've come up with some great pictures! It's really given me some inspiration and drive to go out and take non-Ben pictures again. So here's some samples for you to enjoy (of course, pictures of my favorite subject!)
